It always surprises me that anyone feels differently. This industry is RIPE FOR disruption. Alex Keller well you might be happy ending up a morbidly obese hermit but most people prefer the experience. we are losing so much by breaking our entertainment down to its simplest elements. Turkey Emojis Thanksgiving Shirt. in these moments, the things that trouble us as individuals do not exist because we are one. the television shows i remember from my formative years, i remember because we watched them at home, when they aired, as a family.

I understand now the thought that goes into choosing what airs when and why. i like viewing carefully crafted television as intended. admittedly, i consumed media like most of us do today (as one does a piece of chewing gum) for the better part of a decade…because i was busy, because i was lazy…but i am going back. i am visiting the record stores and shopping when i crave new music. i am visiting the theater and experiencing films in the best possible way (gravity in imax, whoa!).

I am seeing artists live and giving back to them for a few hours some of the energy they have provided to me. i am seeing sports live in person at the stadium. with my family, i am spending my money on these things that matter while we still can. so watch that $100 million blockbuster on your 4″ iphone (alone) if you must, or re-engage…you might just discover you still have a soul after all.Jeff, I’m well aware that people still spend millions at movie theaters. But that doesn’t mean it makes sense for everyone now that there are alternatives to that 1950s way of receiving entertainment . VHS and dvds tried that.

Both died in the process. Its not about watching a movie. Its about going out, eating together, and watching a movie together. Its a weekly escape from domestic drudgery.Those formats didn’t die because they took on the movie theater industry, they died due to technological advances. JoshBjerke. Technically youre right. But that wasnt the point i was driving at. I have lived through the advent of all these technologies, and with each new technology delivering films to homes, the owners would make boastful promises about rendering theaters obsolete.

Its happening again with Netflix…the only thing netflix could displaced is dvds. Not theaters.Frank Young I also lived through the introduction of those technologies, but that’s neither here nor there. I think this is more like WaPo clickbait rather than Netflix boasting. The company is releasing numerous feature-length films but that doesn’t imply an attack on theaters. This article has a sensationalist headline for the clicks. I don’t believe Netflix has any goal or ambition of overthrowing Hollywood. JoshBjerke. Theaters are not Hollywood. And I am pretty sure Netflicks want to run new release directly to peoples homes.

I would MUCH rather watch movies on demand without having to drive to a specific location to see them, schedule an entire night around them, watch them on a too-big, too-loud screen, smell carcinogenic fake butter the entire time…and pay through the nose for the privilege of doing so. It always surprises me that anyone feels differently. Turkey Emojis Thanksgiving Shirt. This industry is RIPE FOR disruption. Frank Young theaters very much are Hollywood. Think of them as the gas station end, with the refinery being the studio. VHS and DVD (and now Blue Ray) didn’t try this. These were just ways of bringing movies into the home AFTER they aired in theaters. There purpose was never to replace the theater.
